The W800 is a VERY easy bike to ride. As for ABS, it is more useful for a bike like the F700 which is both faster and more powerful for about the same weight as the W800. I tend to ride with a lot more pace on the BMW. The Kawasaki encourages a more relaxed way of riding. Range is definitely better on the BMW (it is a remarkably frugal bike). I would encourage you to get a test ride on the W800 because it will help you make your choice. Looks is one thing but you really need to like riding the bike. Keep us posted !
